Claiming Grace by Susan Stoker
3.0
The prologue of this book almost made me stop reading, because it seemed to be focussing on men being abused as if it happens to them equally. Certainly, there should be services for abused men as well as women, but statistically, men win hands downs as the abusers for both sexes, and it sounded like the brothers would only focus on abused men, who are the minority.
Once the guys set up Ace Security, though, it was definitely equal opportunity, so that made sense. I also like that emotional abuse was defined and clarified as equally, if not more damaging, than physical abuse. I work in the counselling field so I don’t like inaccuracies about these issues.
Ok, so, the story. I love to hate Grace’s parents, and the letters between Logan and Grace bring forward their pain in losing each other as teens.
I also like that the brothers are triplets, and each has a skill that helps them protect people escaping terrible abusive relationships. The Grants are an interesting family, allowing the introduction of Alexis, and poor Brad, getting caught up in the evil web of Grace’s parents.
Loved the ending where Grace’s reclaims her power with her mother, and as she says “I win”.
Will give the next book a look.
